I have this same problem but I am not sure it is caused by other mail readers; in my case, I am getting convinced that it is the gnus agent that is doing it as this happens in all my folders and yet I use k9 on Android only to access my inbox. > Therefore, I have several messages in my inboxes marked with "O" (old), > which excludes them from the expiry-process.

You can mark a region in your Summary buffer and then C-u C-w (gnus-summary-mark-region-as-read) to mark all those messages as expired. The C-u is necessary as otherwise the messages are simply marked read. HTH, eric -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 + No Gnus v0.18
